Far Cry Primal (2016)
Best: Being A Caveman: Something I adore about video games is their ability to let you experience something you can never do in real life. Like flying around with superpowers, killing aliens with laser guns, or being a caveman. Far Cry Primal lets you do that last one, and it pulls it off wonderfully. Here, you feel like a weak, unarmored caveman trying to survive terrifying nights filled with dangerous pre-historic creatures that are hunting you at all times.
Worst: Dealing With Other Cavepeople: Look, I get that Ubisoft talked to experts to create their in-game caveman language. And I appreciate all the craft that went into this game’s cutscenes and animations. But after like 20 minutes of hearing cavepeople talk in a made-up language, it becomes hard to take its narrative seriously.
